DVCC Firmware insufficient warning on System overview

This error keeps showing up and then clearing, it has done so at least 10 times in the last couple weeks. All firmware is up to date according to VRM online checking.

Cerbo GX

3 Quattros

BMV 712

3 BlueSolar Charger MPPT 150/85

2 Skylla-IP44 24V/30A (currently turned off)

It's getting pretty annoying to get an email every time this happens and then clears, I have looked through every post concerning this and see no solutions, anybody have an answer to this?

Thanks, Ron

I just started having the same issue today with two Quattro's configured in split phase 120/240. I have not made any recent firmware changes to my Quattro's

But have you updated the firmware on GX or other devices?

Did you update any device firmware recently?

Hi @Ur12VMan

VRM doesn't do VE.Bus (Quattro) firmware updates, but in Device List it will tell you what you have. The email message will be being passed through from the Cerbo.

You either turn off DVCC or grab a MK3 dongle and update your Quattros. The minimum listed for the Cerbo's DVCC is 422, but the latest would be probably a wise step.

You may have some other issue, but you need to check this first.

Thanks for the input John

The quattros have FW 469 and were updated once since new. The only thing changed recently (6 months ago) was swapping the CCGX for the Cerbo. This started around then and was intermittent, but rare, now it's doing it daily, the only device that is set to auto update is the Cerbo, everything else has to be done manually and according to the list on VRM everything is up to date and the DVCC manual shows that I have compatible FW on the devices except the Solar Chargers. I like having DVCC on because of the Victron LiFePo4 battery bank. The thing I don't understand is that it comes and goes, if it is such a problem the alert should stay on, but it keeps clearing itself until the next time. It would be nice if the alert actually pointed to the problem, rather than just showing an error. That is a poor design on the software end.

Hi,

Just to add to this Thread. Recently (Feb21') had an autoupdate to V2.62 of the CCGX on an installation. Prior to this upgrade everything was working with no alarm. CCGX was at version V2.60. As soon it rebooted we got the same permanent alarm. You clear it and it reappear very soon.

So either willingly or unwillingly V2.62 as tighter requirements for firmware compatibility. Currently system has:

- CCGX V2.62

- LynxIon 1000A BMS V1.24

- 150/85 Rev2 Smart Solar V1.54

- Skylla-i/100A (1+1) V2.06

- VeBus(Phoenix - 3p) V459

Will downgrade for time being but would like to have feedback on which of the hardware is causing error.

Hi everyone,

Would anyone know how to get rid of the DVCC #48 firmware warning when there's an old MultiPlus in the system (which has no FW updates)?

I need to use DVCC SVS (Shared Voltage Sense), because one of the SmartSollar MPPT charge controllers started having the infamous voltage drift problem...
